Talking about myself has never been my favorite thing to do, but I guess in this arena that's what one must do; otherwise why be here, right?

I hope you are not too hung up on the age thing. I take the position that age is a state of mind, and that you must remain open to new ideas and new people. I'll add more comments over time. (Still not comfortable talking about myself.)

I'm a Colorado guy (Colorado Springs)now living in FL. I miss the Front Range and Pikes Peak, but the ocean makes up for some of that. I use the beach as a reading room, exercise (long walks) and a place of solitude when I want that.

Music? Well smooth jazz is my preference, but the Eagles, Santana, Traveling Wilburys and Steely Dan are some of my preferred artists.

Authors? Too many to name here, but here is a sample: Robert B. Parker, John Connolly, Dean Koontz & Johnathan Kellerman.
